History and Origins
About the Coalition
The Coalition of Manitoba Cultural Communities for Families formed in 2017, building on seven years of advocacy work as the General and Child and Family Services Authority Reference Group.
Our roots trace back to 2010, when cultural community leaders came together through the Canadian General Authority’s New Canadian Awareness and Education Initiative. The goal was straightforward: give cultural communities a real voice in child welfare strategy and planning.
What started as advocacy within the child welfare system evolved into something bigger. We recognized that families need support across multiple systems and agencies, not just child welfare. So we expanded our scope.
Today, we organize events that build community capacity and help families navigate complex government systems and policies. We focus on mutual learning between communities and service providers, ensuring that cultural perspectives inform policy development.
The Coalition maintains an open, flexible structure. Membership and roles adapt as community needs change, keeping us responsive and community-driven.
Our Mission
Creating better support systems for all community families and their children through advocacy, education, and transparent dialogue between cultural communities and service providers.
